Brush and Bulky+

Crews visit each of Tucson's 26 residential trash service areas twice each year to provide Brush and Bulky collection. This is your opportunity to clean your yard, garage or storage shed and get rid of any debris.

In 2019, the City of Tucson will be adding services to its Brush & BulkyCollection Program to help make our City and neighborhoods cleaner, more attractive and safer. This expansion of the existing program is being done in collaboration with City of Tucson Transportation, Police and Fire in partnership with Tucson neighborhoods.

Brush & Bulky will continue collecting materials left at the curb and in alleys PLUS provide additional services when collections occur.

PLUS SERVICES INCLUDE:

REMOVAL OF OVERGROWTH AND LITTER IN RIGHTS-OF-WAY

CLEAN-UP OF ILLEGAL DUMPING

GRAFFITI REMOVAL

STREET SIGN REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT

POTHOLE REPAIR

STREET SWEEPING

WHAT THE CITY WILL DO:

Contact neighborhood associations within the pick-up area approximately one month ahead of the Brush & Bulky PLUS Collection to identify neighborhood clean-up priorities.

Review the collection area to identify any rights-of-way or easements that require clean up.

Work with Tucson Police and Fire to identify areas that will minimize safety risks if clean-up is provided.

Identify properties that are in violation of the Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance. Contact the property owners/residents by mail to remind them of the property maintenance requirements and that the upcoming Brush & Bulky PLUS collection can provide an opportunity to dispose of yard waste or debris.
